So GT stacked 8 in the box vs DJ ukulele… and Damien Martinez ran for 1185 at 6.1 ypc with him last year ?

Jonathan Smith is **** coach/game planner/play caller.

Miles better than Norvell.

I am confident that Ward’s passing game will improve because of Martinez while Martinez’ ground game will improve because of Ward’s passing game. They reinforce each other. The question is are they gelled enough to deliver on Saturday?

I am pretty confident we have the better lines and QB. Normally, that’s a winning formula. Just don’t turn the ball over. First games of the year are generally sloppy, but they don’t have to be. Neither team yesterday had a turnover. GT only put the ball on the ground once, iirc. FSU only had 1 penalty. GT only had 3.

Go out and play like you’re well-coached and disciplined. If that happens, we have a great chance. If we beat ourselves, it’s going to be a long day.
 
Just going to leave this here when we talk about Miami OL

Yep win on the margins is key on the road, special teams stay clean on returns, make fgs, no turnovers, limit penalties, field position,close each half well

I've seen many here ignorant to the fact that they had one of the better OL in the country.

That's a bold statement.

What's your point?


We've HAD "many here ignorant . . ." for years, and I'm proud to include myself among that number - they're just better company, more fun, and really draw the girls.

You don't sound like much fun - I'd rather hang out around a leper colony.
 
I saw GT bringing safeties down that were constantly shooting the gaps

They threw allot of looks at that bum. Each and everyone of them had him hitchin & twitchin back there.

He also got crushed on his lone decent scramble. Helmet to Helmet snot bubbler. I love the fresh sent of Seminole blood.

Oregon St had a really good OL.
I think Martinez will have a better year strictly due to not having DJU at qb, but yeah, honestly outside of qb that entire offense was stacked. Two **** good backs, a top 10 OL, at receiver they had a guy go 5th round and another who’s at Texas now and pretty sure I’ve seen good reviews on what he’s doing there in Silas Bolden, and a tight end that followed Smith to Michigan State and was more than solid. FSU fans (and really most fans since people don’t watch west coast) talked themselves into DJU going to a better situation but I’d take Oregon State’s personnel last year over FSU this year.

Their OL was good but Martinez is a great runner. I've been watching a lot of his games from last year, a lot of those yards he got on his own improvising with cutbacks etc. Excellent vision, patience and timing to go with all the power and speed. Don't know if we have a better OL, but I think he'll do better here. Maybe even a crazy season nobody sees coming.

6 more days...
Cohen's blocking sprung several runs last season.

Lee's blocking gave RBs and QB time.

Can Miami at least replicate those two missing pieces??
